Embodiment Construction

[0041]Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, a medical pump 10 of the present invention, tailored to a particular therapy, may provide for a housing 12 open on an upper surface to receive an IV line 14 and a syringe 20. The IV line 14 may receive a first medicament 18 from a medicament pooling bag 16 and the syringe 20 may hold a second medicament 22.

[0042]The IV line 14 is received within the medical pump 10 along a channel 24 extending from a top to a bottom surface of the housing 12 where it passes through IV clamp elements 26 and reciprocating actuators 28 of a peristaltic pump element. The IV clamp elements 26 may be open or closed to pass or block medicament 18 from passing through the IV line 14. Sequential action of the reciprocating actuators 28, in contrast, provides a metered pumping of the medicament 18 through the IV line 14.

[0043]After passing through the reciprocating actuators 28, the IV line 14 exits the housing 12 and joins to a Y connector 30 which leads to a common pati...

Abstract

A medical pump provides programming to assist a patient in complying with treatment schedules involving varying dosages of medicament(s). The pump includes stored treatment schedules and protocols that describe control of flow control device(s) for delivering different medicines according to the protocols and which may provide reminders and instructions to the patient

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to medical pumps tailored for implementation of a specific therapy.[0002]Medical pumps, such as syringe pumps or peristaltic infusion pumps, are known for computer-controlled delivery of medication or contrast agents (henceforth medicaments) to patients over a period of time. Typically the medicament is delivered in a syringe (for a syringe pump) or a flexible bag (for a peristaltic infusion pump, or ambulatory pump) that may be connected to an IV line and attached to a needle inserted into the patient. When a nurse or other healthcare professional ministering to the patient receives the medicament, the healthcare professional reviews the medicament description for correctness and enters the desired dose and rate into the pump. Other pump parameters such as alarm limits and the like may also be programmed at this time. The syringe or IV line must then be mechanically connected to the pump mechanism, the needle introduced...
